Industry Note:

Use New HHABN Form By April

Don't forget to start using the new home health advance beneficiary notice form by April 1. Up until April 1, HHAs can use either the old form (with the expiration date of 10/31/2012) or the new form, notes HHH MAC NHIC in a question-and-answer document from its Feb. 17 teleconference on ABNs. The new form, which CMS issued Dec. 6, is available for download at www.cms.gov/BNI/03_HHABN.asp (scroll down to the "Downloads" section). NHIC's Q&A is at www.medicarenhic.com/RHHI/billing/HHABNQA02172011.pdf.
